Mastercam is the most widely used CAM for the 26th year in a row.
More shops and schools invest in Mastercam than any other CAD/CAM software package in the world. According to CIMdata, an independent research firm specializing in the NC industry, Mastercam is the number one CAM software used worldwide for 26 years in a row. In the latest report, Mastercam retained the top spot for CAM software in three categories: industry, education, and support network.
Mastercam topped the list in both the educational and industrial categories, with nearly twice as many installed seats as the nearest competitor.
“With more shops using Mastercam and more schools teaching Mastercam, students are being prepared for a fluid transition to the job market with practical skills and reduced learning curve,” says Meghan West, President and CEO of CNC Software, Inc. “This is a win-win situation for education and industry to contend with the skills gap and fill the glut of jobs available in manufacturing.”
